Pirate Weekend At The Georgia Renaissance Festival!!

Come Celebrate The Georgia Renaissance Festival's 28th anniversary season with the Atlanta Pirates and Wenches Guild! We'll be puttin' on our finest threads and packin' our best gear to rub elbows with the Lords and Ladies, the Fairy Folk, the Gypsies, Belly Dancers and of course all the Buccaneers. We might even get a rickshaw ride or a kiss or two from the lovely Buxom Kissing Wenches. Scalawags and swashbucklers abound for His Majesty’s Pirate Adventure! Those adults and children who think themselves worthy buccaneers can compete in the Talk Like a Pirate and Best Dressed Pirate Costume Contests. This weekend is also Knights on Bikes Weekend so ye can present your motorcycle license and receive $4.00 off an adult full price ticket purchased at the Festival Box Office only. (2 adult discount purchases per motorcycle license, not valid with any other offer.) If you do not have a motorcycle license and would like to avoid the lines at the Festival Box Office, you may want to buy your tickets at Kroger ahead of time at a small discount.

Festival hours are 10:30 to 6:00 and the parking is free. Each year Pirate Weekend is extremely popular and crowded so make yer way early mateys (last year there was a 2 hour wait to get into the parking lot at opening time).

Great information! Hey, one question: I bought tix thru Living Social but it said they would be "will call." What does that mean? Is there a line for that? Or can I just flash my handy pocket genie's QR tatoo at the gatekeeper for entry?

Still looking for a Pirate to share expenses that may be traveling in like myself.Are someone that lives close that may take a chance and put me up.The reason is my First Mate is having to stay behind and work.So it,s just I.

We're about:

A group of adults being drug towards responsible behavior kicking and screaming. We'll meet on a regular basis for drinkin', pillagin' and other acts of debauchery. We'll even have some kid friendly events thrown in. we hope to keep local pirates and wenches up to date on various piratical events throughout the Southeast.
